155mm Artillery Cannister Assembly

Solicitation # W15QKN-26-X-1CJZ

The Army Contracting Command-Rock Island at Picatinny is conducting market research to identify potential sources within the National Technology Industrial Base capable of manufacturing 155mm Artillery Cannister Assemblies. This is a sources-sought notice for informational and planning purposes only and is not a Request for Proposal; therefore, no contract will be awarded from this specific announcement. The assembly consists of four primary components: a 4140 steel payload canister, a 7075 T6 aluminum payload cover, and two types of clocking keys made from AISI S2 or S7 tool steel. The government is seeking sources that can meet specific scaling production targets, starting with at least 450 units per year by October 2027 and increasing to at least 10,000 units per year by January 2031. Interested companies must be registered in the System for Award Management and provide detailed information regarding their manufacturing capabilities, past experience with artillery metal parts, quality management certifications, and current production capacity. Technical Data Packages are available upon request to qualified Department of War contractors who submit the required non-disclosure and technical data agreements.
